Hi everybody,</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;">In
East-Brabant (Getelands dialect) we have the interjection /teu/ (eu
sounding like German Söhne), very often as a reduplication /teu teu/
meaning "and yet, but it's true". Teu is nothing but the 3rd person
singular (with normal umlaut) of the verb 'doen', originally /et deu/,
'het doet', which is formally and semantically similar to English 'it
does'.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;">Best regards,</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"> </div>
